The Interview - 8/10
nicely done. really enjoyed.
Yeah, I had fun with it too...no worse than any of Rogen/Franco's past offerings. A step below Pineapple Express, but still kept me entertained.

He has watched it 9 times.
Die Hard 9.2/10

Die Hard with a Vengeance 8.2/10
Live Free or Die Hard 7.7/10
I refuse to watch the latest attempt at a movie. IMO the series should have stopped after the third movie, even though I liked the fourth. It just didn't feel like die hard though.
Interstellar 10 times now!
I still heard some dialogue for the first time. Such stuff that should be audible in a decent sound mix. Things like Cooper saying to Matt D. "it's ok" over and over.
One other part that was extremely important to the storyline. Cooper telling someone they were right about something.
I had to read the script to figure out Dr. Brands last 3 or so words. How stupid. It was something so simple I feel like a dummy for not realizing it.
This non IMAX viewing wasn't my favorite because the sound was too low somehow and they designed the theater so you either have to sit too far away or too close. It's like they removed 10 rows in the very middle of the theater.
I also wish employees would close the doors for you. I always have to get up and close them because the people in the lobby are so dang loud.
I said this before and it sounds silly, but I like how they say all their lines. It's like they did a take 10000 times and got the best one. Sometimes this could actually make things worse. My idea is that they prepared everything so perfectly in advance. Oh and to me Coop sounds like a real normal guy to me and very realistic. I guess the people at the oscars don't like that.
I still have to say that if you go to movies for special effects I don't know if this will WOW anyone. It's not that kind of movie to me. They're good though.
So far there's only one thing i'd change. Maybe one part where the music made a scene WAY too over-dramatic like a soap opera. Somehow it works out OK because of the next scene though.
I actually don't think the movie as a whole is too over-dramatic. I'd have reacted the same way in every scene. I wonder why so few movies had scenes related to relativity? So far there was only "Flight of the Navigator" (which I'm a fan of since I was 8)
BTW the strangest thing for me is that when I first saw it it was the kind of movie I normally don't like. The movie just seems to put me in a trance which is bizarre. Feel like i'm there I guess.
The Dark Crystal (198something)
A very overly dramatic movie with hilarious gaps in the story and absolutely horrendous scene changes. Yup, it's a classic by Tim Burton, with lots of amazingly built creatures, and fantastic set design, but he obviously didn't give a single crap about anyone older than 16 when he made this film.
Absolutely fantastic, I loved it.
I thought that Dark Crystal was a Henson / Oz thing, how does Burton figure into it?
The Maze Runner (2014): 6/10
It squanders its premise and surprisingly solid cast in its last half, but for a good chunk of its run-time this is a shockingly good 'yet another young adult dystopian sci-fi' film. Alas, the trappings of the genre, an annoying setup for a sequel, and some last minute narrative incoherence largely sap the excitement out of the film as it sprints towards its climax, leaving it limping to the finish line in the end. Here's hoping that the inevitable sequel can play to this film's strengths and excise its weaknesses--if it can do so, we might have a winning film series on our hands.
Honestly, I was so bored watching that film, I literally thought I was going to die.
Your rating is very generous IMO but I hope the sequels that follow are totally better than this first one because I literally had no idea what was going on throughout most of the film and just got bored to care.
I hope it dies. The concept is no less dumb then Divergence and the movie go against itself in the very next scene in some occasions.
Like one that got bitten is forced back in and they make the most silly religious sticks to build a fence or something... Another one that is bitten no hurry getting him in the maze all of a sudden?
Give us Battle Royale, Wrong turn 8 or whatever is better and has a more sophisticated script then this. Does anybody think the concept of why the maze was built make any sense whatsoever.
I could enjoy the movie because I enjoy the genre. But I have seen 20+ movies in this genre that is better. This is at the bottom of the pile just on top of Divergence but a bit below Hunger games.It´s not even for entertainment purposes the only excuse that could possibly make any sense... Hunger games is super silly too and bad but makes a bit more sense due to this.
